If you get a message that says, No Satellite Signal is Being Received – Error 25 or Error 29 you can try resetting your digital box. The same year, Amstrad supplied set top boxes to Australian broadcaster Foxtel, and in 2004 to Italian broadcaster Sky Italia. For those of you with only the one satellite cable coming into your property i.e. communal satellite, you will need to enable 'single feed mode'. This is done as follows: To get here press Services, 0 and then 5 on your Sky remote to get to the Network tab and then select one of the three ways to connect the box to your wireless network. Amstrad Sky box DRX100 (2001), DRX200 (2001), DRX300 (2003), DRX400 (2004), DRX500 (2004), DRX550, (2006)

Your box can fail to receive a signal for a variety of reasons. Working from the dish to the box the failure reasons include bad weather, dish movement, obstruction such as tree in full-bloom or man-made structure between your dish and the satellites, faulty LNB, water ingress where the cable connects to the LNB, damaged cable, moisture on the F-connector at the box end, frayed wires or bent centre wire at box end, software failure or box hardware failure.

Sky+ HD 2TB review | TechRadar

NOW TV is available on demand with single day or monthly passes and can make accessing SKY’s services much easier and cheaper.The SKY+ HD boxes are essentially a mini PC in-a-box with an internal hard drive, a TV output, input via a small control panel or remote control, and a network card in the form of an ethernet connector or built-in or attachable wifi device. The Keep option prevents you from accidentally deleting a recording that you want to keep or from stopping the automated housekeeping software from deleting programs that you want to keep. What it cannot do however is prevent Sky from deleting a program from your recordings because the program in question has an expiry date or because Sky has a legal obligation to remove it. You'll be able to stream recordings from your hard disc, and control the Sky Guide Planner. For now, it's a satisfyingly high-performance HD satellite receiver, at least on a par with Sky's top-of-the-line 1TB PVR when it comes to channel changes and browsing the Sky Guide, if not faster.

Why do I get the "This display does not support HDCP" message?

The Sky+ app is worth installing for several reasons as well as the avoidance of clashes. I myself use the app in conjuction with MySky reminders to add programs to my Sky boxes without disturbing what the family is watching on the TV right now. You can also delete programs and browse channels without bringing menus up on the TV. In my experience the most common problem is bad weather or a faulty connection due to age. If you do find a cause that is not diagnosable from the above list then do let me know. Some boxes can hang when ECO mode is enabled forcing them to go to sleep overnight. The problem is that the box cannot be 'woken up' forcing a power off and on to recover or in some cases a software update is needed. If your box is one of the ones affected by this problem it's probably worth disabling ECO mode and seeing if that helps. I know that my 2TB box hangs with ECO mode enabled so I have my boxes set to Active. To change the mode go to Services > Options > Sky+Setup > Standby Mode and set to ACTIVE or NONE. When all else fails most SKY support staff will direct you to perform a system reset. This process will perform a low-level format of your hard drive followed by a reload of the firmware. This WILL erase all your recorded programs and delete your scheduled programs. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection is a form of copy protection applied to display connections. It was designed to prevent content from being viewed on an unauthorised device. The sending device performs a handshake with the receiving device (your TV or monitor) to ensure that it is authorised to receive it. If the handshake succeeds it encrypts and sends the content. If not it sends a message for it to display such as "This display does not support HDCP".
